[3.0] How to Flicker. Terminus Est Edition!

Hi, I'm currently using this build for Abyss league and it's great! But with Abyssus I feel some lack of survivability(5.8k HP) doing T10+ especially on high physdmg bosses. What do you think about switching to Lightning coil instead of Belly ?

I had that problem until I switched over from dodge to armour, the thing with dodge is the longer the fight is, the more stray hits you will end up taking. Vaal pack does not like inconsistency so damage mitigation will keep you alive more. S
The skill tree by itself is already super close to the 2 best nodes for iron reflex(24% to both armour&evasion) i can have 6k+ armour with barely any investment, 15k when i pop lion's roar.

which reflect maps we cant do? elemental or physical or both?


You absolutely cannot do two map mods:

1)phy reflect
2)no leech
I made a vid of doing a Poorjoy map with Kaom's and a 5 link Terminus with Ancestral Call. Easy peasy. Scariest part was the abyss monsters and the aoe chaos damage due to my -70% chaos res, rest was cake. Enjoy!

Here you see the reason I dont like Ancestral Call with Flicker Strike. With Ancestral Call as the 3rd minus multiplier you just feel the damage go down vs rares, not to speak about bosses. Sure the clear speed is great but one of the least things this build needs is more clear speed.

If you are happy with it, keep it by all means! But I think with Ruthless or DoFL you would clear with the same speed and you shouldn't get stuck on rares. Works better for me anyways.
I am using Oskarm and do not need Assassin's Mark gem. Any suggestion for another gem buff or aura?
Thank you!

Can we get a list of potential 6th gems??
So far ive heard a mixture of: ruthless, added fire, dofl, maim, any other potential contenders?

Ruthless and Maim are the best 5th and 6th gems if you don't use Ancestral Call. I have a 6 link now, so I always use Maim, but I can swap out AC for Ruthless on bosses if I feel it necessary, but that's not often. I can understand not wanting to run Ancestral Call, but not only is the clear speed a bit better, but the screen shakes a lot less and it feels less spastic. It's still really spastic of course lol

Why Hatred but not HoA? With HoA we can take advantage from Kaom or Added fire damaged?
